A new generation of CAD is coming.
Faster performance. A more intuitive workspace. Greater flexibility. The next generation of Pythagoras CAD is coming in Q1 2027, bringing up to 10× faster operations, a powerful new rendering engine and native support for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Optimized workflows with precision CAD and data processing
Change your software. Not the way you work.
Keep using the surveying instruments and file formats you already know. Pythagoras CAD fits into your existing workflow, giving you the freedom to work with different brands and data sources without starting from scratch.
No need to change the way you work. Use Pythagoras CAD as a standalone solution or integrate it into your existing workflow. Enjoy the flexibility to work with different instruments, without being tied to a single brand or system.
And there’s more flexibility ahead. The next generation of Pythagoras CAD, coming in Q1 2027, will run natively on Windows, macOS and Linux. Choose the operating system that works best for you, without compromising your workflow.
Drawing tools for surveyors
Create accurate, professional drawings with powerful CAD tools designed for surveyors. Easily draw and edit points, lines, polylines, solids and annotations. Customise object styles, manage symbols and organise your drawings to match your project requirements. Make repetitive drawing tasks easier with field coding, automated drawing tools and reusable object styles. Spend less time on manual edits and more time delivering accurate plans.
Work confidently with different coordinate and projection systems, including seamless transformations. Flexible layout tools make it easy to prepare detailed plans for printing at any scale. From simple surveys to complex projects, Pythagoras CAD gives you the precision and flexibility to deliver high-quality results.
Digital Terrain Modeling (DTM)
Create and manage accurate Digital Terrain Models with Pythagoras CAD. Combine measured points, point clouds and breaklines to build detailed terrain models. Easily edit surfaces, visualise elevation differences with custom colour maps and calculate cut-and-fill volumes.
Compare designs with existing terrain conditions and calculate earthwork quantities with precision. Generate profiles, create batter lines and project 2D elements onto your terrain model. Export your results to machine control systems for a smooth transition from planning to execution.
Fast performance, expert support
Work faster and more efficiently with Pythagoras CAD. Its intuitive interface makes everyday tasks easier, while powerful tools help you handle complex projects with confidence. The next generation takes performance even further, with faster rendering, smoother navigation and a more responsive workspace.

Point cloud processing for indoor mapping
Turn complex point cloud data into accurate, ready-to-use results. Pythagoras CAD offers powerful tools to visualise, analyse and process 3D scan data. Work with detailed point clouds, create sections and extract precise measurements for your surveying projects.
Need to create indoor floor plans? Pointorama takes automation a step further. Automatically detect floors, rooms, walls, doors and windows from your scans. Refine your results and export them to CAD or BIM. Together, both solutions help you save time and simplify your workflow.
What do customers say about us?
Pythagoras CAD turns field data into accurate, ready-to-use plans
“With Pythagoras, importing field data with customized coding means we get nearly finished plans right away. This saves significant time and minimizes the need for manual corrections. The GRB macro in Pythagoras is a lifesaver. It automates checks for technical consistency, flags errors, and simplifies the correction process, making complex tasks manageable and accurate.”
